Removal of the old one. you need 14 mm wrench/socket. And PB blaster to help slide out the exhaust hangers.
Installing the new one. The joint between the new pipes requires a 16 mm
Install took about an hour. The exhaust tips are a little too big for my liking. It sounds great but unfortunately the right side hangs lower. Might need another exhaust hanger from autozone
Nice job brother, looks great! To me, the left side looks perfect, and the right has a bit too much spacing for my preference. Would enjoying hearing live one of these days.

Thanks bud. I pushed up the right one, but it has an obstruction on the pipe. It hits this thing on the bottom of the car


Obstruction on the right side. I will have to lower the left instead

I took out the exhaust, assembled it and reinstalled it. It was still hanging down on the right

So i bought these exhaust hangers, I'm gonna try to lower the left side for them to be equal



I put one of the hangers on the right side of the left exhaust. They are pretty much equal now.

So after driving around a few days, I am noticing that the exhaust is making a weird sound. When I apply a lot of throttle, it makes a whistle or squeaking noise as it approaches redline. I contacted redline360 and they are in touch with Tanabe, and had me send them videos of it. But I know it's not supposed to sound like that. Kind of wish I had bought the F-Sport exhaust instead.

After some back-and-forth with the seller, I sent the medallion back for a refund. I was considering getting the F sport exhaust from the dealer, $1350, but this morning I randomly found a used rev9 axle back on OfferUp. Bought it and installed it. Paid $260, plus $40 for an exhaust gasket from the dealer.




it sounds nice, more subtle, less drone than the Medallion. Fitment was decent, left side was higher, the same as the medallion. Installation was easier because it was in three sections. The exhaust tips are smaller as well, which I actually like. The build quality is very decent, it's in good shape for being two years old. But obviously the Medallion was nicer.
